All website material is optimized for SEO. Socialwrites also helps people who want to write a non-fiction book but need help to do so. We also edit books for self-published authors.

Q: How long has Socialwrites been in business?
A: Socialwrites started in February 2014, so that makes us 11 years old! Our initial offerings haven't changed since then, but we have expanded our services quite a bit. If you need something but you don't see it on our list, ask! If we feel comfortable tackling it, we will!
Q: Is there anything that Socialwrites expressly DOES NOT do at the present time?
A: Socialwrites does not do paid advertising for Google or social media. We feel there are too many ways to help people market organically.
Q: How do you charge for most projects?
A: A price quote for the entire project is provided before work starts, and the price usually doesn't change, but it can if the project proves to be more work than anticipated. Depending on the price of the project, the entire price is due before work starts or we can take a deposit of half down. On occasion, we will arrange a payment plan on a case-by-case basis.
Q: How can I pay Socialwrites for my project?
A: Socialwrites has several different ways to pay including Venmo, Zelle, and CashApp. We can also invoice you through Square. A downloadable invoice can be provided upon request regardless of how you pay.
Writing and Editing Questions:
Q: What types of material does Socialwrites write?
A: Socialwrites writes any non-fiction material you might need including bios, Google product/service descriptions, technical writing, social media posts, web content writing, blogs, and SEO-optimized web content. We sometimes use AI as a research tool or to outline a logical way to write something, but all of the actual writing is done by a human.
Q: How do you determine prices for writing projects?
A: It depends on what you want. We do have set prices for some writing such as blogs that you can find by visiting our "Prices" page. Larger, more in-depth writing projects are sometimes split into sections with payment due for one section before moving on to the next. Talk to us about your writing needs and we will quote you a custom price.
Q: Do you offer sample edits?
A: Socialwrites offers sample edits as part of the price quote process. We learned the hard way that charging by word count alone doesn't work. Frankly, some people's writing skills are much better than others. By providing a sample edit with your total word count, we can provide a price quote, and, at the same time, you can see our editing process so you can determine whether we're a good fit.
Q: How much will you charge to edit my book?
A: That depends on the size and quality of the book. One thing you should know upfront, however, is that we are not a discount editor. We edit without the use of AI and provide quality work, which takes time, and time equates to money.
Q: Can you help with formatting and self-publishing?
A: Yes, we can. We can create your cover, format and edit your book, and help you self-publish it through Amazon. Keep in mind that this can be a lengthy process and the price will reflect how much time your book is expected to take and is subject to change if necessary.
